    You could try timberriffictoys - I have brought stuff from them online and they are really good quality. Some of it is pretty exxie, but so worth it when you are able to use it for all of your children and not toss it after a few months. I *think* there was a place called 'heirloom toys' too, but not sure if they exist anymore - it was years ago when I came across them.

    I noticed you are in Melbourne, i just went to the yarra glenn market this am and bought the best little wooden trolley, it is so well made. The man who makes them (and all sorts of other toys) is an older gentleman. He told me he made a trolly for his kids and it is still around, the grand kids are using it now!

    He is based in croyden and i picked up a buisness card with a website. Not sure if i am allowed to post it or not. The name is 'Sams Handcrafts' The wooden trucks were great too. PM if you want to website details or phone number.

    Google "the peanut gallery" it is my all time favourite store, their toys are beautiful and good quality, and reasonably priced.

    Kids gift list has some great things too, some smaller wooden things & some larger stuff. Love that website for soooo many things. There are soooo many sites to choose from, this is coming from the Online Shopping Queen LOL...you could just google "wooden toys" most good children websites have a great range of wooden toys. I love the wooden toys, no batteries & they dont break in a matter of seconds. This house is full of wooden toys!

    As soon as I think I've finalised my wishlist then someone else posts another great site with more goodies!

    Thanks for all your suggestions and do keep them coming.

    Hey Fiona,

    This is a little OT, because it's not an online store, but recently I came across a "free trade" toy store in Nicholson St, Fitzroy, just along from Scotchmer st, so it's probably not too far from you? The owner is gorgeous, and had some interesting & ethically sourced toys. I bought a lovely Tambour for DS's 1st birthday, which is made from recyled palm or something, that would normally have been burnt or turned into wood chips. Not super cheap, but then I feel like I'm making a better choice here than I would be if I went to Toys R Us iykwim.
